They only wanted to show their disapproval. Friends eager to counterbalance all those Facebook “Likes” rushed to “Download the official DISLIKE button now” as received in a message. But, sadly, no dislike button was in store. Instead, installing the application provided users with several surveys and left their profiles vulnerable to spammer control. If there was ever a time to unleash their Dislike, this was it.

Yet, as Graham Cluley of the security firm Sophos told the BBC–mentioning a similar ploy that offered Facebookers the chance to see an anaconda vomiting up a hippo–such “survey scam” applications are nothing new:

Perhaps Facebook should take note: Users were willing to sacrifice their security for the mere power to express negative feedback. Or, at least, the mere power to express negative feedback without typing.

Yeah, people have been requesting a “Dislike” button on Facebook for quite awhile. This scam, however, is nothing but proof of how gullible many of those people really are.
First of all, Facebook will never add such a feature because it goes against the very fiber of its being. The “Like” button, after all, is Facebook’s cash cow, an incredibly powerful tool that enables the company to steal, compile, package and sell its unwitting users’ private information to marketers and advertisers.
Worse, through the “Like” process, Facebook and other social-networking sites have thousands of third-party applications their users can install. Because it’s impossible to police them all, however, users of these applications run the risk of inadvertently installing spyware, nuisance adware, viruses or other malicious programs. These applications pose serious risks when it comes to identifying theft or even predatory behavior because they typically ask their users to share personal information with strangers.
Wouldn’t it be great, then, if one could communicate, chat and share files, photos and video with friends, family and colleagues without having to give up all that information in the first place?
